That's right. We plan on shipping 0.84 with the first 1.5 software
release, because we'll want a release that's seen lots of testing
before deploying it so widely. However, we'll be willing to backport
individual patches from 0.86 if they're very useful, so the answer is
not as simple as "OLPC will take the 0.84 release and use it unmodified".
I think your strategy of concentrating on testing activities that work
on 0.84 is a good idea.
Thanks,
- Chris.
